Linux is not merely the open group spec, but adds additional specifications. In Linux, the standard error returned by link in the case where a given filesystem type does not support hard links is EPERM. You might check the actual Linux man page. Returning ENOSYS is quite incorrect; that error is the one to return if the kernel did not implement the link system call at all.
